TL;DR Summary

Aretha Franklin's children are contesting her will in court, as two handwritten wills found at her home are being disputed. One will, dated June 2010, is claimed to be the true will by Franklin's third son, while another will, dated March 2014, is considered the primary will by her second and fourth sons. The case aims to determine the validity of the 2014 document, which would impact the distribution of Franklin's $6m estate. The jury will hear from three of Franklin's children, while a fourth son with special needs will receive a percentage of the estate regardless of the outcome.
